The 'Squee' Festival

Only if you like cats and/or cute animals.

Sorry I didn't post yesterday my cat, Millie who was pregnant, finally gave birth to six, SIX, beautiful babies yesterday from about midnight Sunday to 7:30am Monday morning. I had to be up most of the time to make sure all the placentas came out - one per baby - as staying in her body will make her very ill. But, she did extremely perfectly well. I am so proud of my cat.

Millie gave birth to the first one UNDER OUR BED!! That's obviously where she felt safest which was nice to know she trusts us and then we got the prepared box from downstairs and brought it up to the bedroom. And at 1 in the morning Adam had to wake up and pull the bed out for me because I couldn't move it so Millie could carry on safely.

I stayed awake for three of the beautiful births. Her first is a ginger cat, which is extremely surprising given what Millie's colours are. Then she gave birth to a completely cream one, which again was a total surprise. We did not expect ginger or cream. My husband I think has fallen in love with the cream one which is not surprising because I've fallen in love with them all. Then Millie had a baby that looked a lot like her but definitely darker. After that I half went to sleep because I was soo tired and it was about half 3 in the morning and I definitely needed to sleep to look after my baby.

Grey one is clearly being squished somewhere in this pic.

An hour or so later I startled awake to find that Millie had had another baby, this time she had a grey one. I stayed awake for a couple more hours to see if she was going to have more because of the placentas and at about half 6ish in the morning I went back to sleep as I knew Adam would be up an hour or so later - I told him to go to sleep because he wasn't feeling too great and had work in the morning. So at 7:20 when Adam's alarm went off I looked at the babies and Millie and noticed that she had a random kitty head popping out from behind her back as well as the four that she had in front of her so now she had five babies!! And as I was telling Adam she had five beautiful babies out came another one! My little Kitty had 6 babies of her own and she looks so massive compared to the kittens. I can never imagine her as small as they are now, but she was.

So, anyway, here is the squee fest, and I will definitely be uploading more.
